Thank you JESUS!!!! I have my novel! It has been stored for I don't know how long on my USB port or whatever its called. I also found the notebook that has the timeline that I created in it. So I can get what I don't have there again. Since what I recovered from that little carry thing is not all that I had written it is most of it so I'm a little less stressed...but still really mad because all my poetry and other writings and all our family photos and photos of the puppies and everything is all gone....so the computer guy won't be receiving any thanks or forgiveness from me just yet. Harsh maybe but true.
